I like the marketing, it's fresh. I want the show to be fun and loud, but I dont wanna see the same WSS we've all seen 90 million times.
And I agree with the above- outside of the Broadway community, no one knows or cares who Amar is. People who dont even know much about musical theatre, but love WSS will go see it regardless.
And is Katrina Lenk not an "all-American-lookingwhite actress?" She's American and white and an actress..... I don't get your point. "
I think my point is pretty clear. No, she doesn't have an All American look [TO ME]. I'm aware she's American. I'm aware she's white. The term "All American" generally means cookie-cutter stereotype version of beauty (and if you don't agree
With all the "hints" I'd be really surprised if it was someone else as Bobbi at this point. I'm really excited IF she's the lead since I just kinda assumed it would be played by a all-american-looking white actress. I think it'll be really dope seeing her in this since I'm only familiar with her in TBV.
In regards to the point about her "applauded as a choice within the theatre community"..lets be honest, who outside of the theatre community is dying/Stanning/planning trips to NYC just to see Company? Regardless of it is was her, SJB, or Jessie..the big money is gonna come from us and I feel like we'd all go see it regardless of the lead

The waiting is literally the worst.

Wait i forgot about Moulin Rouge for set, I think that's a given. But Company will definitely get a nomination. I still think Six could take lighting and sound.

Best Score and lighting I think are going to Six. Best Book could be Jagged Little Pull, Girl from The North County, or Six. Leading Actress is gonna go to Adrienne Warren. Set Design will go to Company (if it ever gets announced..) Choreography is most likely going to Moulin Rouge.

Just tell them "congratulations I loved the show". Doesn't really have to be much more than that unless you had a really moving experience during the show

I think the one thing that I think is really nice with all these productions is that young women who aren't the most well-known are going to get to star in a show and be the main focus.

....You’re being playful, right?"
We get it,sis. - you dont like the show.
I think it could get a nomination for book, score, and 100% for lighting.
I feel like of all the musicals announced this season, this one has gotten the most hype. I see more posts about this than I did about Moulin Rouge or even JLP.
